I've admired Mimi's pincushion teacups since I first saw them and was really happy when she came out with directions on how to make your own. I've had the tutorial for a while and after much searching found a couple of great teacups at the thrift store on the Army base. This weekend I gave it a whirl. Although Mimi calls for wool felt I used mainly fleece - just because I only have one color of wool felt on hand at the moment! Luckily I had wool for the house - I don't think it would have worked as well in fleece. Haven't decided if I'm going to keep it, put in in the Stash (which now takes 40% commission so I'd have to price it skyhigh!) or put it on Etsy. At any rate - it was lots of fun to make and really quick!
Well, I think it looks beautiful! Reminds me of Christmas (the colors) in a TEACUP! What's NOT to love? And I'm GLAD you are creating more! I've always been crazy about your art!
